Golden Age Glamour TPB Vol. 01Media Release -- The glamorous pin-up style "good girl" art that originated in comics' Golden Age has been an inspiration to AC Comics from the beginning. In recent decades, we've even been able to bring reprints of many of the actual GGA stories themselves before a modern audience, particularly when that approach was used on costumed superheroines. We've shown our readers "good girl" art jungle stories, science-fiction and even Westerns at times. But we've never really had the proper outlet to present examples of great comic book glamour art that did NOT fit into the standard genres we explore, and a lot of the BEST GGA of the 1940's and '50's was in crime, humor, adventure and even romance comics. So, GOLDEN AGE GLAMOUR was born!

An anthology chock-full of features absolutely brimming with particularly well-rendered examples of the female form, across a broad spectrum of genres, approaches and styles. This premier issue features 27 full vintage stories reprinted in black and white in their entirety, utilizing state-of-the-art reproduction techniques that bring the best possible resolution to the line art itself.
